<P><STRONG>This morning I was frantically searching for the multi-window split screen but apparently the latest update no longer supports this feature. The new icons are hideous and now they decided to remove multi-window as well!!!

Is that what it was?! Yea. I'm annoyed with this new update especially now that you can't completely hide the bar at the bottom either! I miss the multi windows. Why do they keep fixing things that are not broken?Mon, 25 Feb 2019 19:09:04 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Multi-window-feature-not-available-on-S9-pie-update/m-p/945904#M12781Idang22019-02-25T19:09:04ZRe: Multi-window feature not available on S9+ pie updatehttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Multi-window-feature-not-available-on-S9-pie-update/m-p/946365#M12808
<P>I ended up ringing Samsung and the problem is fixed. They changed the way to access the multi-window feature. First, you need to press the bottom 3-line button once and the list of opened apps will appear. Then press on the icon at the top of the app you wish to split screen and select from the menu 'Open in split screen view'. Its a tad more difficult and somewhat a hassle but at least they didnt remove the feature from the system.</P>Tue, 26 Feb 2019 06:22:24 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Multi-window-feature-not-available-on-S9-pie-update/m-p/946365#M12808Lalaland112019-02-26T06:22:24ZRe: Multi-window feature not available on S9+ pie updatehttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Multi-window-feature-not-available-on-S9-pie-update/m-p/948100#M12841

<P>As a workaround I use the app bxActions which lets you re-map the Bixby button so you can use it to toggle the split screen. It's a lot quicker!</P>Wed, 20 Mar 2019 14:55:52 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Multi-window-feature-not-available-on-S9-pie-update/m-p/1013277#M14471Vaan3822019-03-20T14:55:52ZRe: Multi-window feature not available on S9+ pie updatehttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Multi-window-feature-not-available-on-S9-pie-update/m-p/1014896#M14497

It won't work at all even with the alternate option on my phone with the recent update.&nbsp; I'm SO pissed because I wouldn't use it at all, then I gave in, tried it, toggled back and forth especially useful for financial and shopping tasks, etc... I had my occupational therapist take the time to teach me how to do this and several other features because I'm recovering from mini - strokes. Then, I got addicted to the feature and they take it away!!! Just got the phone in December and think I know how to use it and they CHANGE IT !!! AAAAGH! This isn't fair for anyone&nbsp; but more so for those of us with disabilities. You literally program your brain &amp;hands coordination... In this case I pad someone to teach me. And now it's gone.

<P>I am going to register a complaint. I've been to other threads and every post is negative regarding the Pie update. It makes using the phone so difficult -&nbsp; I had to do something yesterday that literally would have taken me 40 seconds before, it took about three minutes and was so cumbersome. All the new methods of access and use are so non-intuitive and way more steps.&nbsp; I ended up just deciding i need a whole new way to maneuver through my day with this phone, and likely a whole new phone. And before this terrible useless update this was the best phone I'd ever had, and an excellent business tool -&nbsp; I even decided not to get a new computer because my phone was so useful I really didn't need to.....but now really not useful. You really&nbsp; blew it Samsung, your customers are not supportive of this update.&nbsp; Now I need a&nbsp; TV for one room and guess which brand I am NOT buying...trickles down....</P>Sun, 07 Apr 2019 12:49:28 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Multi-window-feature-not-available-on-S9-pie-update/m-p/1070706#M15732SBS14402019-04-07T12:49:28ZRe: Multi-window feature not available on S9+ pie updatehttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Multi-window-feature-not-available-on-S9-pie-update/m-p/1073104#M15779

<P>Do you know how to do the video player thing? So when you re watching youtube and press the home screen it makes a small video player in the corner, super convenient. After the update Netflix and Hulu could do that too but like a day after the update they no longer could and I don't understand why. And no not the pop up window option because thats not the same.

They seem to be catering to the new "Samsung users," who are really iPhone fanboys/girls. We don't want half of the things they have given us in these updates, including those ugly buttons and accessibility.

<LI-USER uid="1668226" login="Jegan1"></LI-USER>: To use Split Screen View please tap the Recent Apps button (default is bottom left corner) &gt; Tap the thumbnail image above the relevant window &gt; Open in Split Screen view. This will display the app in the top half of the screen, and any app you open after that will be opened in the bottom half.

<P>Thanks for the reply. I don't think you quite understood my post. I know how to get there but the option to split-screen view has been removed. I only have an option to use a pop-up window but I used to have both options available, open in split-screen view and open in pop-up view.

<P>Thanks. Before posting online, I had checked advanced features in settings. I only have an option to adjust open in pop-up view. It used to be there.

This is a great description of the solution - and I applaud that you called them directly. It's not exactly intuitive but fact is I had to look up how to use the old version also. Now I know where it is, I like it. I think this was described on another forum but I couldn't understand their explanation so I never could duplicate it.

<P>It's stupid that they changed the easy gesture we used to be able to do for pop-up view. It's way too much to have to go to recent apps and then take the icon and then search for the pop-up viewv buttonb and then tap it. And not only that but all Samsung apps don't work in pop-up view anymore. It's the most ridiculous thing in the world because they're the ones that created it, all Android apps work fine in pop-up view, but when I try to open any Samsung app in pop-up view it ends up going to full screen. For some reason it won't work. I also have the phone settings to be answered in pop-up so doesn't open the phone app every time I get a phone call, taking me away from when I'm working on. I can easily talk on the phone without needing this phone app open. If I need to access the keypad while I'm on the phone all I got to do is click the pop-up. Well Samsung pop-ups just don't work anymore. The problem is every freaking time Android makes a new OS, like KitKat to nougat or 8.0 to 9.0 &amp; now 10.0, they f*** everything up that has to do with Samsung, &amp; actually they ruin lots of apps' features. I can't tell you how many apps I have were there's a feature in the settings &amp; underneath it says "If you have Android 8.0+ this will not work anymore." Android didn't used to do that until the last 2yrs or the last 2-3 OS's. And I bet you Samsung is a sick of catering their tech to Android's *****.</P>Sun, 24 Nov 2019 21:59:54 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Multi-window-feature-not-available-on-S9-pie-update/m-p/1421351#M20153LeLeD1202019-11-24T21:59:54ZRe: Multi-window feature not available on S9+ pie updatehttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Multi-window-feature-not-available-on-S9-pie-update/m-p/1421360#M20154

<P>EVERYONE- This is much better:&nbsp;</P>
<P>Download GOOD LOCK.</P>
<P>An app&nbsp; madeby SAMSUNG to replace all the cool features that Android took away. It reactivates split screen view &amp; One-hand-operation features, AND Pop up view back to how it used to be where you just swipe down from the corner, or hold recents button. Makes it work like the old Samsung 7/Note 8 used to. but it doesn't change anything else with your phone whatsoever. The only thing it does is allow you to swipe down from corner for pop-up view,&nbsp; or hold down for recents for split view, or swipe up for one-handed operation. It also turns all apps on to be able to open up in pop-up view. right now Andrew wants you to go through one by one to try to turn them all on but this app does all for you automatically. It's a setting so you can tell it not to do that if you don't want it but there's absolutely no reason not to.</P>Fri, 20 Mar 2020 20:54:06 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Multi-window-feature-not-available-on-S9-pie-update/m-p/1620477#M21666LeLeD1202020-03-20T20:54:06ZRe: Multi-window feature not available on S9+ pie updatehttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Multi-window-feature-not-available-on-S9-pie-update/m-p/1626214#M21702

<P>I ended up ringing Samsung and the problem is fixed. They changed the way to access the multi-window feature. First, you need to press the bottom 3-line button once and the list of opened apps will appear. Then press on the icon at the top of the app you wish to split screen and select from the menu 'Open in split screen view'. Its a tad more difficult and somewhat a hassle but at least they didnt remove the feature from the system.</P>

<P>I ended up ringing Samsung and the problem is fixed. They changed the way to access the multi-window feature. First, you need to press the bottom 3-line button once and the list of opened apps will appear. Then press on the icon at the top of the app you wish to split screen and select from the menu 'Open in split screen view'. Its a tad more difficult and somewhat a hassle but at least they didnt remove the feature from the system."</P>

<P>It takes more effort, but it worked for me! Good Luck😊</P>Thu, 07 May 2020 21:40:13 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Multi-window-feature-not-available-on-S9-pie-update/m-p/1726330#M22439LaLaLand2020-05-07T21:40:13Z
